Hi aj, $ madison --regex myspell [...] myspell-lt | 0.5.20030624-1 | testing | all myspell-lt | 0.5.20030624-1 | unstable | all myspell-lv | 0.5.5-1 | testing | source, all myspell-lv | 0.5.5-1 | unstable | source, all Hmm. This does not make much sense. I understand that - from the view of the testing scripts - myspell-* (repspectively their source packages) are valid candidates and therefore are let into testing. And they are even installable; do not make sense though. They are the dictionaries for OpenOffice.org and the mozilla spellchecker (so used by OpenOffice.org and mozilla-snapshot currently). mozilla-snapshot isn't in testing and OpenOffice.org is in testing with 1.0.3-2 against which those myspell packages declare a conflict. So there we have myspell-* packages now in testing which makes no sense until openoffice.org (>> 1.0.3-2) dripples into testing on which is worked on... But when that shouldn't happen we have senseless packages in testing, ok they can be removed if the time comes but still the testing scripts may be able to modified to not let such situations occur. I honestly do not have an idea currently how this might be implemented since this can't be done automatically (how should the scripts determine the _sense_ of a package objectively?), but maybe this could be implemented by some variables/flags/fields/whatever in the scripts modfied by the RM/RAs? I am not sure, though, if that really is worth the hassle or if this situation is a corner case and won't happen again. I trust your judgement :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux frodo 2.4.21-rene #3 Mit Aug 6 17:21:44 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
